We received the following from Karen Isaacson, one of the ListMasters at RootsWeb, about problems at JUNO.COM. If you receive this, belatedly, are a JUNO user, and wonder why you have not received email from the Lists, this is the reason. ============= All Juno members to all RootsWeb lists have been temporarily unsubscribed. Please don't add them back to your lists, at least, not if you want the non-Juno subscribers to reliably receive messages. Juno has their inbound mail so badly broken right now that it essentially grabs and holds onto any site that tries to deliver mail to them. If we end up with too many ports open to Juno, we simply have to kill the mail job, and anyone on the list after the Juno subscriber doesn't receive their e-mail. We're monitoring the situation, and as soon as Juno is fixed, we'll add all those subscribers back. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter... Karen =============== This may seem self-serving and un-sympathetic, BUT it seems that certain servers that offer "free" or "very cheap" service, are constantly having problems with this sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, you are free to use whatever service you choose; however, from experience, I have found that "you get what you pay for" is not just a truism. It accurately describes the level of service that you will receive as far as your email business is concerned. I tried JUNO. Didn't like the interface or the service. Had been a Concentric Net user, almost from the inception of that service. Went back to it, of course. AOL has, of late, become almost as bad as far as email satisfaction. Why not "bite the bullet" and pay for an ISP connection, independent of AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, JUNO, etc., etc., and ENJOY doing your email, without all the hassle? You can access a list of ISP (Internet Service Providers) at this URL: http://thelist.internet.com/ I will recommend Concentric Net as one of the most trouble- free providers on the Net/Web. Not because it happens to be the one I use, but because of recent ratings of ISP's by PC Magazine and other sources. Concentric has consistently been rated in the tot 5 of all ISP's in the country. Please check out ALL the ISP's that you find at the above URL, check the prices, what is offered, etc. There are many out there that will give you virtually trouble free service: IX.NET, SPRY.COM, COMSTAR.NET, DELPHI.COM, EARTHLINK.NET, MCI.NET, NETCOM.COM, USEMAIL.NET, etc. The above list is, in no way, an endorsement of the various ISP's, nor means that these are the only ones that are available. They are just some that subscribers to my Lists use and seem to have to have no problems with. Go to the URL above and check out ALL of them. This email is provided as a public service for those of you who are having problems with your email server. If you are not satisfied with the one you now use, check out others.
